“How many more appointments like Trinh Xuan Thanh are there?”, How many times have we learned from experience, why withdraw again!”...

National Assembly Deputy Ngo Van Minh – Standing Member of the National Assembly’s Law Committee passed away on the evening of December 16. As a National Assembly deputy of the 12th, 13th and 14th terms, he was known by many people for his strong statements, especially his straightforward questions in the parliament.

National Assembly Delegate Ngo Van Minh

"How many more appointments like Trinh Xuan Thanh?"

This was his last question on the National Assembly forum. At the 2nd session of the 14th National Assembly, delegate Ngo Van Minh raised the issue and raised a sign to debate the process of appointing and awarding medals to Mr. Trinh Xuan Thanh.

The delegate from Quang Nam province said that the Ministry of Home Affairs needs to clarify how many cases of "illegal" transfers like Trinh Xuan Thanh's; as well as take measures to avoid the situation where every time there is a corruption suspicion, the subject "disappears".

"How many times have you learned your lesson? Why do you learn it again?"

Previously, at the 1st Session of the 14th National Assembly, the delegate of Quang Nam province was alsoThe first speaker at the discussion session touched on some budget and audit issues.

Mr. Minh said that the Prime Minister has directed to save and conserve every penny of people's tax, but every year there are problems with spending: Spending is not close to reality, must be adjusted many times, there are cases of "cutting first, reporting later" exceeding the estimate and then requesting the National Assembly to include it in the estimate and accept the final settlement.

“I think this is unacceptable, responsibility needs to be clarified. Last year was the same, this year is the same, we have learned from experience so many times, why learn from it again!”

'Where is the money for leaders of ministries and localities to drive 2.4 and then 3.0 cars?'

The State audit report on the 2014 budget shows that most of the reviewed ministries, branches and localities still have problems with spending not being on schedule, meeting standards and norms, and misusing funds.

Delegate Ngo Van Minh raised the issue: “The Prime Minister said that the Government is taking the lead in effectively managing public vehicles, but while full-time delegates are only allowed to drive 1.8 or 2.0 liter vehicles, in ministries and branches, and leaders of many localities, they are seen driving 2.4 or even 3.0 liter vehicles. Where is the money? The audit must step in to clarify the wrongful spending and misuse of funds in localities, ministries and branches to make it strict.”

Project 'addiction' disease

At the question and answer session on November 17, 2015 of the 13th National Assembly, mentioning the phenomenon of "office grandiosity" when many places build trillion-dollar projects, delegate Ngo Van Minh called this a waste in spending associated with diseases such as "project addiction, construction addiction, and showing off".

"The reason is that the law and discipline are not strict, and the responsibility of the leaders is not clear. People are not satisfied because they do not see anyone being criticized, or if anyone is criticized, it is probably not made public so people do not know," a delegate questioned the Prime Minister's corrective measures.

“The explanation for the appointment of Duong Chi Dung is not acceptable”

On the afternoon of May 31, 2012, in response to a series of questions regarding the appointment of Mr.Duong Chi DungAs the Director of the Maritime Administration while Vinalines was being inspected, the Ministry of Transport officially confirmed that this procedure was not wrong and in fact this was a demotion for Mr. Dung.

“I think a lot about the explanation of the Minister of Transport. Although I tried to choose the points that the Minister answered most satisfactorily, I still find it unacceptable” – Mr. Ngo Van Minh expressed his opinion.

“I am concerned about the aspect that even if a case is just emerging and has public opinion, it still needs to be considered and clarified before a decision on personnel organization can be made. It is agreed that a person needs to be considered comprehensively, but making such a decision causes public opinion to be skeptical and doubtful, and people do not agree,” Mr. Ngo Van Minh expressed his opinion./.
